Are these being sold as PCBs only or is there a way to get a fully assembled board?

Kits only.  They provided all the parts as a package if you wanted, or, you could source them yourself.  I chose the former.  Now, it's off to Acill to assemble it for me.

and pay with an international bank transfer... I tried to order two and it didn't work out

Congrats to everyone that did get one! What a board for the Vampire!

I paid them via Paypal.  I asked very nicely, auf Deutsch...

You had to have been a member of A1k website and be able to read German to get one.

Or use Chrome with automatic translate turned on

This is how I use A1k.org as well. I have never had any issues having a conversation other than they tell me my German is terrible! Not my German though, I blame Google!!

Their translation isn't too bad...but, it becomes really retarded when dealing with idiomatic expressions.  Many colloquial phrases in other languages just don't translate to English very well, and vice versa.

I would have as well to bad. Proper business people and Amiga seems like a problem that goes back to Commodore and has not changed much

Well, it was clearly stated it was a private, hobby project, never meant for commercial sales, and was sold as such.   The project was all over this board back in November or December when the information was first disseminated on A1K.  I found out about it HERE on A.org, and just so happened to already have an A1K account to follow up on it and get one ordered.

Hell yeah....SHE LIVES!

A big thank you to Acill for his excellent, as usual, work!

Please send your wife my apologies for taking up all your free time that could have been spent with her, lol!
